haha life after spring break has just been busyness...anyways, Yixuan, Chan Min, Sung Guk, and I went to Chicago last weekend for the Hillsong concert...sooo spartknotes version time:<br /><br />Saturday: woke up at 7 to go to airport to pick up car, neither of us had a credit card (only debit card) or a return flight ticket to insure them that we'll be returning the car, spent an hr there, remembered that i do have a return flight...in aug, it worked, got a free upgrade on car, drove back to campus, took a 2 hr nap, left around 11 due to asian lateness by everybody...got to trinity christian, Mark gave us a mini tour of campus, broke my flip flops, got new flip flops, went down town, took many pics of the bean, had fun, drove to Sears Arean for Hillsong, met up with Ohioans/Chicagoans after, went to eat "dinner" (@ midnight) with bro, P.Victor, john, jerry, josh, yixuan, and sherry (so many J's!), went to sherry's place for the night...<br /><br />Sunday: church - bro improved so much in preaching, ah! so proud of him! had harold's for lunch, chilled outside of church, waited for chan min and sung guk, got on the road and i drove back, returned car, dinner at like 9, showered, unpacked, crashed - didn't even do hw...<br /><br />overall, i was really satisfied with the trip...i had a really good time and i felt really blessed at the end of it. BUT Hillsong was NOT as satisfying as i thought it would be, it was not as amazing as i thought it be either...in fact, it was rather disappointing...BUT BUT, i learned something nonetheless...i think the reason i enjoyed last weekend so much was because of the company, it was so good to see the ohioans, and since none of <i>the girls </i>went, it was all of the guys that i was closer with! yay! and of course, it was really good to see mark too, haha but i'll get to see him over the summer, so not that big of deal as compared to the ohioans...there were quite a few lessons learned on this trip and i praise the Almighty for that (Almighty with a capital A...not winston...=.=) hokay, i think that's all.Jocelyn Onghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16302781113772590599noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620633939210342673.post-66803405635504374012010-03-20T12:14:00.003-04:002010-03-20T12:53:39.536-04:00March 19th, 2010<b>(sparknotes version at end)</b><div><b><br /></b>My God is so big<div>So strong and so mighty</div><div>There's nothing He cannot do, for you! (x2)<br />The mountains are His</div><div>The rivers are His</div><div>And the stars are His handiwork too!</div><div><br /></div><div>March 19th, 2010 was such an amazing, epic, legendary day! God just kept pouring down the blessings! The past week was supposed to be my 緊張 week because i had to 1) register for summer class at pima 2) find out whether i got the worship apprentice position 3) find out whether i get to move into school apts...registering for pima wasn't too big a of a deal, but praise God i got all the classes i wanted. worship apprentice was a nerve-racking because when i applied i was confident, but after my interview, i was less confident...haha. for the apts, sophomores aren't allowed to live there, but it saves $5k per <i>academic year</i> so yixuan and i went appeal like a month ago and never got a response. i've been awaiting replies for both WA and apts all week...so yesterday was the final day.<br /><br />when i woke up yesterday, the first thing i did was check my email on my ipod touch...there was nothing. i went to get ready for class, checked my email again right before leaving for class...annnndddd! email from matt cooke, the guy in charge of the apts telling me i got in!!! PRAISE JEEBUS! so that just uplifted my day! then i went to my only class of the day, cause 2 classes got canceled, so my spring break began at 950am! so i joyously went back to my dorm to write my paper that was due at 5pm, but then i saw an email titled "worship apprentice" i was so scared of opening it, but when i opened it, it just said "we've sent out letters telling those who got in and those who did not, you will receive them this afternoon" i could barely focus writing my paper...i finished my paper at 4, went down and got my mail...saw the letter, VERY slowly opened the letter...and when i started reading it, i was like "omg, it's a rejection letter..." cause it said "Dear Jocelyn, we're really glad you applied for the WA position and we were happy to have met you through the interview" BUT at the end of the first paragraph it said, "we hope you would accept this invitation for you to be a worship apprentice" I WAS SOOOO happy!!! PRAISE ALMIGHTY (not winston...)!!! then church was fun, i led games for the first time! =D then afterwards the yaf kids were getting ready to go on their spring break trip so we hung out with them at carson's and yixuan and i played rock band for a long time! then took jessie to meijer's, went back to dorm, packed, took a nap at 430am, woke up at 6am, met up with yaf kids to get apt keys from enoch and carson (their apts will be our hang out places during spring break...) and sent them off...took another nap at 7am, woke up at 850am, moved stuff to apts...then the rest of today might be in another blog post some other day...<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">in case you didn't wanna read anything i wrote, here's sparknotes:<br />1.

SO EXCITED!!! at first, i was like poop, i won't be able to go on all the fun rides cause they are too small...BUT then, i thought, during my first visit to disneyland, i was already pretty big, so my parents/bro took me to all the "big kids/adults" ride, so i've never been on the kiddie stuff, so this'll be fun! PLUS, one of the attractions that drew me to Concordia University was its distance to DLand, but hey, i still get to go even though i chose the freezer! <b>P</b>assion <b>T</b>ea <b>L</b>emonade! ;P</div>Jocelyn Onghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16302781113772590599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620633939210342673.post-48650587669670542232009-12-07T18:35:00.002-05:002009-12-07T18:45:16.702-05:00Christmas Dinners To The Maxthis past week was a very relaxing and gluttonous...hahaha, when ming was in grand rapids wednesday, we went to ruby's tuesday, on friday night (yaf was pushed to sat) i had the AHANA (minoirites) dinner in school and then saturday night went to pastor's house for dinner, had curry, i've never tasted this type of curry, it was interesting...delicious nonetheless...and sunday night i went to the ISAC (international) christmas banquet and ate more...i better not gain my freshmen 15 in one week >.<<br /><br />i had fun in all the mentioned events tho...i dunno if i should go to anymore international events, i feel outta place...lol, but i hung around koreans last night, and most of the time i just fa dai-ed because i didn't understand what they were saying...it was still fun! for most of the girls it was like and ALL out dress up thing...i kept my hair and make up from church and just changed into 1 of the 2 dresses i brought...but still fun! ha.<br /><br />oh and last week, my speech class was canceled all week, so i wasn't motivated to work on my speech at all, so after the banquet last night, i started working on it...till 4am...@.@ but i did it today and i'm glad i got it over with! but now that the relaxing week is over, this week's gonna be a little tougher with 2 papers due and finals week coming up! but "我靠著那加給我力量的,凡事都能做!"<br /><br />Thursday: Religion Paper<br />Friday: Sociology Paper<br />Tuesday: Psychology Final (morning) Sociology Final (afternoon)<br />Wednesday: Math Final (morning) Religion Final (afternoon)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thursday: 5am: FLY HOME!!! 12pm: ARRIVAL!</span> =DJocelyn Onghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16302781113772590599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3620633939210342673.post-74549623847265161782009-11-30T17:34:00.003-05:002009-11-30T18:54:15.716-05:00Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slapedit// my mommy told me that she told susan ahyi i was sad bout how i haven't talked to anita in so long and she probably already forgot about me...and susan ahyi tells me mom bout how her 3 older kids play role play and anita would shout "我是嬌嬌姐姐!" thinking she was the oldest and in control, she was ready to give orders, and his older brother, anthony, stands there and waits for orders thinking anita really is "me"...bahahahaha!!!
